Our dear brother William Tyndale in the 1500’s penned the new word “lovingkindness” to reflect the ancient Godly trait of the abundant mercy of our Lord.

And…we hope in that loving-kind-ness. God is the Author and Finisher of that most wonder-full blessing.

Are you in an apparent terrible circumstance? One where there appears no human way out, or around, or through? Are you perhaps not even moving in the least out of the quagmire? Maybe even doubting the goodness and grace of He who bought you with a price? Many of us have been in this spiritual state in the past…and been delivered.

Here is our assurance to those who are obedient to Him:

Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope for His lovingkindness…

What is this hope? The Psalmist declares, “To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.” Amen!

He continues to press into God, “Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His holy name.”

He ends this with a direct tribute to our Lord, “Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have hoped in You.”

“We’re so very grateful, our Lord God, that You are the Author and Finisher of our hope…and our faith! Then is none like You, and we do hope in You and Your final deliverance from this vile world, and it’s every evil intention. Praise Your holy and magnificent Name!”

The Apostle Paul declares to the Thessalonians that at the very first with them he was like a nursing mother.

What a wonderful word picture of tender love and affection to his new church plant. Who among us can’t recall that image of a new mother and her baby…Praise the Lord!

Our Lord God the Almighty and Ancient of Days on occasion refers to Himself as the tender, even doting, Father with His children of Israel. Yet, only a few chose to follow His ways in obedience. And for them, He too was like a nursing mother.

In contrast, Paul is taking on the Galatians and Corinthians at every turn. There’s no “nursing mother” images in his letters to them. As a matter of fact, in Galatians 5.12 he proclaims his desire that the Judaizers (those teaching keeping the law is necessary for salvation) would “mutilate themselves.” That’s means to castrate themselves due to the circumcision requirement they loaded on their listeners.

As in many things in this life, our Father uses the female creation and an apple of His eye in a series of firsts! As we read in the sacred scriptures, very early on the first day of the week, the women came to the tomb. As you know, the empty tomb!

Where were the men? Back nursing their wounds. The women at the tomb were the first evangelists of the resurrected Christ. And the reaction of the men? “…they refused to believe it.” Except Peter and John. And Peter plunged into the tomb to see for himself, and was “defiled.” Man, Peter is a man’s man, no? Can’t wait to sit and hear him tell this story.

And we thank God for the courageous and respectful holy women of today, like those of old, with a quiet and gentle spirit which is precious in the sight of our great God!

“Can You help us, Savior, to believe the good news of Your works when proclaimed? Blessed are those who believe yet not see. We count on You to make us those kind of saints.”
